Jet Airways (India) Ltd. has been asked by Air France-KLM, U.S. carrier Delta Air Lines Inc. and Italian carrier Alitalia to join their transatlantic joint venture, a senior executive at India's largest carrier by market share said recently.
"We are still studying the feasibility of joining such a venture," the executive, who didn't want to be named, said. "There is no final decision yet."
The executive said Jet Airways will need to consider its current partnerships with other airlines worldwide before arriving at any decision on joining the venture.
The venture between the four airlines will likely include operational partnerships such as code-sharing on airline tickets, cooperation on client reward programs as well as other services such as engineering on some overseas routes, the Jet Airways executive said.
Joining such an alliance would likely help Jet Airways to cost-effectively expand its overseas operations, leveraging the global network of the three other airlines instead of deploying its own aircraft.
It would also pave the way for the Mumbai-based airline to enter the SkyTeam Alliance--a 13-member global airline group led by Delta and Air France-KLM.
National carrier Air India Ltd. plans to join Frankfurt-based Star Alliance, the biggest airline group in the world, while Kingfisher Airlines Ltd. will soon join the Oneworld alliance.
Jet Airways, with its two units JetLite and Jet Airways Konnect, has a fleet of 116 planes from Boeing Co., Airbus, ATR and Bombardier Inc. and operates flights to 49 local and 24 international destinations. It currently has Brussels as its international hub.

Jet to operate wide-body aircraft to fight congestion
Jet Airways, India’s largest carrier in terms of passenger volume, has observed a specific method to resolve congestion at some of the major airports inside the country.
The airline is seeking at operating wide entire body airplanes in some of the congested domestic routes inside the summer schedule. “From the summer schedule, we is going to be operating wide bodied Airbus A330s in a few of our flights to and from Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai as the congestion at airports limit the range of flights we can operate,” stated a senior Jet Executive, requesting anonymity.
The airline operates single-aisle Boeing 737s or Airbus A320s with close to 160 seats per aircraft for domestic routes. The wide-bodied aircraft will provide close to 230 seats per aircraft, allowing the airline to have a lot more ability with much less range of flights.
“Initially, we plan to take close to 2 A330s either on lease or on sale and operate close to 20 flights,” the executive said. The Naresh Goyal-owned Jet Airways operates more than 400 flights daily to 67 destinations worldwide.
Infrastructure constraints because of upgrade jobs at Mumbai and Chennai airports have drastically brought down the ability of these airports and has forced airlines to drastically cut down the range of flights. Mumbai airport has been the worst hit from the main runway closed for eight hours every day from Monday to Saturday. With domestic travel growing in double digits post-slowdown, airlines wanted 573 daily slots inside the airport, but has managed only 490.
In mid-November, the Delhi-Mumbai sector saw a 200-300 per cent start in fares, attributed to many factors, including a lot more demand chasing much less capacity.
Meanwhile, Jet Airways has rolled back the salary cut of its more than 10,000 employees from January. The airline had done a partial rollback from the pay cuts in July last year.
